Relief to Canara Bank: SC dismisses SLP filed by Income Tax Dept with Delay of 261 days

In a relief to Canara Bank, the Supreme Court dismissed a special leave petition (SLP) filed by the Income Tax Department with a delay of 261 days.

The special leave petition arose out of impugned final judgment and order dated 05-12-2022 in ITA No. 206/2019 passed by the High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru.

A Two-Member Bench comprising Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice Augustine George Masih observed that “There is gross delay of more than 261 days in filing this special leave petition. The SLP (C) Dy. No. 48323/2023 arising from the same common order has also been dismissed on the ground of delay. Following the same, this special leave petition also stands dismissed on the ground of delay keeping open the questions of law, if any, which arises in the matter.”
